Riyad as-Salihin, 51
Ibn Mas'ud (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "You will see after me favouritism and things which you will disapprove of." They submitted: "What do you order us to do (under such circumstances)?" He replied, "Discharge your obligations and ask your rights from Allah". <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
إنها ستكون بعدي أثرة وأمور تنكرونها ! قالوا: يا رسول الله فما تأمرنا؟ قال: تؤدون الحق الذى عليكم ، وتسألون الله الذى لكم
((متفق عليه)) .

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) It urges people to bear patiently the rulers’ unlawful treatment of their subjects and that they should fulfill their duties of listening and obeying in what is good.<br>
2) Asking Allah, the Exalted, of His bounties is one of the greatest means to secure one’s needs and ward off what he fears.<br>
3) The reward of those who were patient on the Day of Judgment is drinking from the Basin of the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). If the believer misses any of the fortunes of this world, he should remember the great reward in the Hereafter.
